Observing Primary Literacy

Second Edition


March 2017 | 264 pages | SAGE Publications Ltd
Making sense of what a teacher observes in the classroom is vital to their development as a new teacher and a fundamental aspect of high-quality literacy teaching. By providing real-life case studies that analyse what underpins interactions between teachers and children, Observing Primary Literacy will help them understand literary learning processes and develop their own practice. 

 
Chapter 1: Understanding texts
 
Chapter 2: Talk
 
Chapter 3: Teaching reading
 
Chapter 4: Teaching writing
 
Chapter 5: Teaching grammar, punctuation and spelling
 
Chapter 6: Literacy across the curriculum
 
Chapter 7: Assessment and planning
 
Chapter 8: Teaching with story
 
Chapter 9: Teaching primary literacy

This new edition of a well-written and informative book will provide an excellent introduction to the teaching of English in primary settings. The inclusion of up-to date reference to material on assessment without levels and the teaching of grammar, spelling and punctuation is key. Each chapter provides examples of lessons that are inspiring and practical. In particular, the chapter on difficult aspects of grammar should give confidence to trainee and recently qualified teachers alike.
